This repository contains packages for GNU Octave and its dependencies that aren't in the community repos.
octave: minimal Octave, no gui but plotting abilities.
octave-gui: same as above but with the Qt gui as a requirement.
Note: the octave build system detects available dependencies and enables their according features, so you can cherry pick the dependencies
you want and go for octave if you want finer control. Here's a list of optional dependencies available.
What the different packages actually do is explicitly requiring the needed libraries in depends.
This repository requires the community repos and a fortran compiler.
Go to your personal repo directory and fork gcc with kiss fork gcc, then go into the build file and set fortran as the enabled language in the ./configure command. Then build and install that package.
